You or others may be thrown within or from the boat, which 

could result in serious injury or death.

•  Prior to starting the engine, you must open the engine box

Skiers and wakeboarders are obligated to be as aware of the fun-

damental safety rules as operators. If you are new to water sports, 

you should seek certified training before starting. You may find it 

especially helpful to join a local water-sports club, if available, and 

the U.S.W.S.A. (United States Water Skiing Association).

wakeboarding injuries are the result of impacts with other 

objects, so always look where you are going and be aware of

(See the Common Sense Approach section 

of this Owner’s Manual for additional 

information regarding carbon monoxide 

peril.) 

•  Never climb, sit or stand on a tower. 

The tower is intended for towing only as

uses approved skiing/wakeboarding hand signals and adheres 

to common skiing, wakeboarding and boating courtesy.

•  Never ride on the ski platform or hold on to the ski platform 

while in the water during engine operation, including at idle. 

Carbon monoxide fumes are expelled from the lower tran-

som areas of your boat and can cause death or serious illness.

•  The above mandates are not all-inclusive. It is the boater’s re-

sponsibility to operate the boat in a safe fashion and become 

familiar with any and all rules and regulations governing boat 

operation.
